Clara types into her computer
"I'm going in, wish me luck" Lexia gets up
"I'll help you" Hermes wraps his arm around Lexia
The two practically appear in the lab
"Good luck" Hermes quickly leaves
Lexia puts her helmet on, her suit wrapping itself around her
Demeter's eyes grow green, Clara's got control now
"Huh, she's got frost breath? Wait, tree whips?" Clara murmurs
"You got Demeter, we got Aphro?" Lite asks
"Yep, good luck, we've got some stuff we need to do in here real quick" Lexia explains
"Be cafull, see ya soon" Kola waves
The Blast squad leaves with Aphrodite, leaving Lexia and Demeter
"First course of action, getting out of here, right?" Clara asks through Demeter
"Yeah, what if we just-" Lexia turns to the door Blast squad left out of
"OI, WHAEVEA YOU DO, DON' COME DOWN 'EYE, SWAMIN WIF GAUDS" Kola shouts over comms
"BLAST GOD.....BEAUTIFUL BOMB BANQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET" Tali screams
"WAIT, TALI-" Metal shouts
There's a huge explosion that causes the building to shake violently
"GRAB ON TO SOMETHING" Clara yells
Without thought, Lexia grabs onto the door handle
The building starts to turn over like the leaning tower of Pisa
"THINGS ARE FALLING, HOLY SH!T" Lexia grips on tight to the door handle, her feet slowly draping while the building collapses
Demeter holds onto the ceiling light by her vines
"WHAT THE F#CK JUST HAPPENED?" Yami yells over comms
"So, uh, funny story-HAHAHAHAHAAAAAHH-I kinda, just maaaaaaayyybe, I tell you-HAHAHA-it's hilarious, I blew up the building, really funny story, right?" Tali forces laughter
"OH SH-" Yami goes silent
"YAMI? YAMI?" Flake yells
The door unhinges itself, causing Lexia to fall to the ground on the rubble
She hits the ground hard, wincing and writhing on her back
"HNNNNNNGH, OH GOD" Lexia grits her teeth
"LEXIA!" Demeter stares down at her
"Okay, just...inhale, 1...2...3...4, exhale" Lexia lets a deep sigh
She shoves the door off of herself
"SHOULD I COME OUT?" Hermes asks
"There isn't any enterance..." Clara shakes her head
"D*mn...." Hermes looks away
"Okay, okay, just....just rocks digging in my back, I'll be...I'll be fi-INE" Lexia pushes through the pain, slowly standing up
"The building seems stable...for what happened to it" Clara surveys the building again
"Good...to know" Lexia looks around
Demeter slowly lets herself down
"Alright, how do we get out?" Lexia asks
"Uh...OH! I've got an idea" Demeter whips onto the doorway, pulling herself
"Hey...something's off, I see a...What the hell?" Clara stares at her computer
"Tell me" Lexia waits for Demeter to let down her vine
"There's...that's not Terminus, is it?" Clara squints
"Terminus is a bot, a powerful one, from what we know, but just a robot, does that help?" Hermes asks
"Just tell me what's going on" Lexia groans
"There's something going on...maybe in a bunker? It's underneath the-" Clara gets interrupted by the ground shaking violently
"CLARA? WHAT DO YOU SEE?" Lexia gets annoyed, doing her best to standing up
Demeter lifts Lexia up quickly
A giant mechanical beast shoots out of the floor, nearly missing Lexia and Demeter
"IS THAT A F#CKING T.REX?" Lexia shouts
Demeter and Lexia look through the window, watching the beast crash to the ground on its feet, letting out a piercing roar
"HERE I GO" Hermes shouts, starting to fly off
"BE CAREFUL" Clara warns
Hermes speeds through the hole the mech made
The mech rubs its foot against the floor, looking directly at Lexia and Demeter
"You don't think it'll charge...do you?" Lexia asks
"WE'RE NOT STAYING TO FIND OUT" Hermes grabs both of them and flies off
As soon as he speeds out of there, the mech charges through the building
"HOLY SH!T" Clara yells
"And...we have to take that thing down?" Lexia asks
"I think we do" Hermes stares at the mech, not noticing the thing headed right for him
Lexia looks forward, then takes a double-take
"WATCH OUT" She points at the pterasour-like mecha flyring right at them
Without hesitation, Hermes barely scrapes under the 2nd beast
"THERE'S TWO OF THEM?" Clara asks
